Are you a local business in the Reservoirarea?

The Level Crossing Removal Project (LCRA) is very eager to work with local businesses as they remove the High Street Reservoir level crossing. They have developed a survey to quiz local business owners on all things relating to the works as well as further options to express any concerns. Filling out this survey will help assist with:

Stronger communication between the locals with the construction teams

Finding out what types of concerns locals have so the project team can keep you informed

Do you live in Reservoir?

The project team is looking for locals who will represent the community to join a new Community Reference Group. The aim of the group is to aid with sharing information between the project team and the community networks to ensure minimised impacts will occur during major works.

To be apart of the group, you are required to register to by 5pm Wednesday 6 February.

The SPI team works on many Level Crossing Removal Projects around Melbourne and the Reservoir project is no different. Having successfully completed the pre-condition condition reports for the project, SPI is happy to hear the construction underway.

Dilapidation reports are a critical part of the construction or excavation process and for projects such as level crossing removal projects, dilapidation reports are always included in the project process. If you are about to undergo any construction work projects, no matter the scale, we strongly recommend that you invest in a dilapidation inspection.
